If there was ever a time I hated someone so much, it's right now. I hate Oliver more than I did before. I'm stuck in the body of the man I've been trying to get as far away from as possible. Now I'm bloody stuck in his body. Trapped you could say.

"When will you switch us back?" I ask in the most patient tone I can adopt.

Oliver laughs. "I already told you, when you fix things. We won't leave until you both work together. It's just how it has-"

We all turn as the TARDIS door creaks open. Sarah enters, followed by Kyle. He's alive...

"Sarah, what are you doing here? Get out, we don't need your-"

She interrupts me by hugging me. She hugs me so hard that I nearly lose my balance. I stumble back into the center console with her holding me as if she'll die without me. I' m still so damn hurt inside, but her arms around me make me wish things were different between us. I can say, however, that the Doctor might be right. Maybe I have been wrong. Maybe she really does love me. Maybe I should just let it go. Maybe I'm stupid.

"You do need my help, Niall. You're both in this situation because of me so I'm going to make sure that you get out of this because of me." She declares.

Okay, it's official; I'm the biggest idiot ever. She loves me and I just broke things off because I have jealousy issues. I should probably fix things. And things with the Doctor as well. God, I have a lot to fix with so little time. Better get to work now, eh?

"I messed up. I now realize that I was wrong. I was jealous and scared of not being loved because of someone being better than me. Of someone being better at loving you that I could. I thought the Doctor was that person and it scared me so much. I didn't want to get hurt by anyone else. So I hurt you before you could hurt me. But that obviously got us nowhere. Except in this huge mess. I should've realized it sooner. I could've saved us all so much grief. Please forgive me, Sarah. I love you so much it could kill me. Give me another chance." I beg as I fear tears in my eyes. If she says no, I will break and never recover.

"It's not all your fault, Ni. I am what caused all of this. I can only forgive you if you do the same for me. I am sorry if it came off that I loved the Doctor and not you. It's not true. I loved you long before I even met the Doctor. You're one of the best things to ever happen to me. I'm so sorry for ever hurting you, Niall. I love you."

I smile wide. I feel as though she's taking blame to make me feel better, though. I'm really happy. Trying to make amends is relatively heartwarming. I finally feel as though we're getting somewhere in our relationship. It makes me feel really good inside.

"I understand. I love you too, Princess. I know well enough in my heart that I will always forgive you."

I finally hug her back and smile against her scalp. She smells sweet, like vanilla. Like my fiancée. Like the girl that I love.

My voice then fills my ears. "Does this mean you're done trying to kill me? And that perhaps we can be friends now?"

I unwrap myself from Sarah and look at the Doctor from where I stand. "Yes, it does mean I'm trying to kill you. I lost myself to the darkness. I honestly never meant to hurt anyone; I was just so caught up in my anger that I couldn't control myself. I hope that you'll find it in your hearts to forgive me, Doctor."

He smiles at me. "Even those who make the biggest mistakes deserve forgiveness. But it's you with the two hearts now. I'm actually human for once and it feels rather weird."

It's really weird to hear myself talk from an outside perspective.

I stick my hand out to him. "Friends?"

His smile widens as he shakes my hand. "Friends."

We both turn to face Oliver. "Alright Oliver, we fixed things. Now switch us back." I say.

He shakes his head. "I can't do that, I'm afraid."

The Doctor breathes out heavily. "We had a deal though!" I cry.

Oliver rolls his eyes. "It doesn't mean I can just change you back."

"Then what do we do? We can't stay like this forever." The Doctor announces.

Then Kyle speaks, "The only way to change back is through death. One of you must die first, and then it reverses the spell."

"That means I'll regenerate again." The Doctor whispers. I can tell he doesn't want that.

"Yes, I'm afraid it does, Doctor." Kyle replies.

"Well, I'm willing to try it. One of you kill me." I declare.

The Doctor looks at me and yells, "Geronimo!"

A/N: I can't believe that I just started my second book. I've never done this before guys. I've always planned out sequels for other books I've started writing, but never gotten this far. So thank you to all of you who gave me a reason to keep writing Regeneration, I love y'all so darn much that it just melts my heart! :D <3
